February 9th, the seventh day of the first lunar month, the first working day after the New Year of Threesome Studio. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

In the small conference room, Liu Kewei held a printout in his hand, carefully flipping through it line by line, with a very cautious look on his face.

On his left-hand side, Ling Xingning's face was pale, and it was difficult to hide his excitement; Duan Shanshan's expression was unswerving, looking as ugly as a shareholder who had met a crash; opposite them, Che Guanglong and Yuan Bin, the two main Cheng Cheng, sat expressionlessly, almost hanging a note on their faces that read, "We are here to make soy sauce."

What Liu Kewei has in his hands is the production demand for the beta version that has just been sent over by the bustling network.

The reason for Ling Xingning's and Duan Shanshan's completely two extreme reactions was the first article on the production requirements document, the plan for the charging system.

The last time the two planners had a difference of opinion on the charging system, and there was a lot of movement, and in the end they did not reach a consensus, but were pressed by Liu Kewei's sentence "How to charge, the R&D company said it doesn't count, it mainly depends on the consideration of the operation side".

At his insistence, the closed beta was paid by the hour - of course, as a beta, each account automatically received enough free playtime until the end of the closed beta. At the same time, the game mall will be opened symbolically, and a small number of paid props will be provided as functional displays.

Now, the plan given by the bustling network is to further strengthen the types and functions of the mall's props and cancel the hourly fee - in other words, Ling Xingning's preference for "free games with prop charging system" is consistent with the operator's thinking.

It's no wonder that Duan Shanshan looked unhappy.

"Since the prosperous side has asked for this, then let's start it, the time for us to revise the version is only three weeks, and it will be tested next month, so we can't afford to delay. ”

Ling Xingning glanced at Duan Shanshan beside him, helped the glasses on the bridge of his nose, and said with a smile.

Old Duan, you should still keep your energy on your copywriting work, don't interfere with the system with your outdated game concept, okay? These days, get some monthly cards, how can you make money, how can the prop fee system come conveniently and quickly? Are you really a game operator who will think about the players? What fairness and justice are not worth a dime to them!

Duan Shanshan snorted with a blue face, and just as he wanted to say something, Liu Kewei waved his hand to stop him.

"I'm not opposed to the direction of prop charging, it's just that the result that the prosperous side wants is a few more streets than the limit I can accept," Liu Kewei tilted his head sideways and looked at the direction ......of the ceiling, and said while pondering, "You guys should get busy first, let me think about this matter alone." ”

"Lao Liu ......"

"Lao Liu ......"

Duan Shanshan and Ling Xingning spoke in unison, but Liu Kewei shook his head unmoved, "That's it, you guys go get busy first, give me some time." ”

The two reluctantly left the conference room with Che Guanglong and Yuan Bin.

Liu Kewei adjusted his sitting posture, dragged the ashtray to his side, lit a cigarette, and then put his legs on the table, falling into deep thought.

This pondering was a whole morning, and it wasn't until lunch that Wakazakura pinched her nose and pulled it out of the smoky conference room.

"Lao Liu, are you going to commit suicide?" Wakazakura said as she hurriedly opened the window of the conference room to change the turbid air in the room.

"It's okay, leave me alone. Liu Kewei lowered his head to deal with the lunch that Ruoying had called for him from the Chinese restaurant, and said inarticulately, "Is there anything else in the studio in the morning?"

"Special Manager Kwon came to you with a fax, saying that it was the official reply from Director Jin of the S.M. company to invite the young members to cover the song, and when he saw that you were bored in the room alone, he didn't let me inform you, left the fax and left. ”

Liu Kewei was stunned for a moment, stopped the chopsticks in his hand and asked, "Does Special Minister Quan have anything else to say?"

"He also said with a smile, Jin Yanping's remuneration has increased ten times faster than before, I heard that S.M. is going to build a new building in Cheongdam-dong, shouldn't it be that the funding gap is too big so it's crazy......" Wakazakura replied with a grin, "I don't know if Attorney Kwon is joking, or is it serious." ”

Liu Kewei nodded and ordered: "Give me that fax, it just so happens that I plan to go to Prosperous to talk to Director Long, and bring it to them by the way." Can you help me buy a ticket online for the nearest flight to Shencheng...... Well, buy two and let Uncle Duan accompany me on a trip. ”

"How do I feel like I've been a trapeze artist lately?"

When he got on the car sent to the airport by the bustling network, Duan Shanshan was still a little confused.

Last month, the closed beta flew a round trip, during the New Year holiday, another round trip, and the first day of work after this year?

The key is that Lao Liu, this guy, has no intention of explaining, and directly said to himself: "Accompany me to Shencheng." ”

Then he carried himself directly onto the plane.

"I would like to talk to Director Long about his thoughts on the fee system, and by the way, I would like to invite him to have a meal, which can be regarded as thanking him for his support of our project during the bidding process. Aren't you familiar with him, and it might be better to have you with me......"

Chat and eat together...... I almost became a third escort, right?" Duan Shanshan was a little dumbfounded at first, and then quickly found the focus of his attention......

"Fee system, by the way, I was about to tell you about it......"

Liu Kewei raised a hand expressionlessly, interrupting his gushing attempt: "Stop, Uncle Duan, I know what you want to say." I know very well what you think, so I don't need to say it again. ”

Duan Shanshan closed his mouth stupidly, pursed his lips and turned his head to look at the scenery outside the window.

Pudong Airport is very close to the location of the bustling network company, and it didn't take long for Liu Kewei and Duan Shanshan to sit on the sofa in Long Jiao's director's office.

"Liu Production, Brother Yu, welcome, you suddenly ran over in such a hurry, is there something wrong?"

After the assistant gave Liu Kewei and Duan Shanshan a cup of tea and left the office, Long Jiao asked.

"We're here mainly for the fee system. Liu Kewei said straight to the point, "In principle, I don't reject the idea of charging for props, but too radical charging will inevitably destroy the fair environment of the game. ”

Long nodded abruptly, Liu Kewei's intention was in his expectation, and the reason why he waited until the assistant left the office before speaking was also because of this consideration.

He got up and closed the door of his office and sat down on the single sofa next to Liu Kewei and Duan Shanshan.

"You two are not outsiders, to speak from the heart, from a personal standpoint, my views are the same as those of Liu Production. An overly aggressive system of charging for items will inevitably undermine a level playing field for a game. But I also have my grievances......" Long Jiao calmly agreed with Liu Kewei's statement, "You two should know the game "Journey", right?"

This online game launched by Pangren Network in 2006 is almost the originator of the props charging system, Liu Kewei is naturally very clear about it, and even Duan Shanshan, who has never had a love for props charging games, has never heard of it, so both of them nodded.

"Before the advent of "Journey", the online game operation model on the prosperous side was basically a time-based charging model, and then it was precisely because of the competitive pressure of the new charging model brought by this game that the prosperous side will be forced to change the charging mode of some operating games...... "Long Jiao smiled bitterly," However, the new model has not been running for long, but it has brought amazing short-term profits, after all, under the premise that the number of users and online time is relatively stable in the hourly charging mode, the game revenue is a relatively fixed number, and in the props charging mode, once the player's desire to buy is stimulated, there is almost no upper limit, and the speed of money is too fast......"

The past told by Long Jiao may be a novel insider to Duan Shanshan, but it is not a secret to Liu Kewei, who has been in this industry for seven years and has been diving for a long time in at least 20 game development exchange groups.

"The side effect of this is very big, right? A game that has been operating normally for at least three or five years with stable revenue, so if you toss it around, it will be good to have a stable operation life of half a year. Liu Kewei frowned tightly, "Even after three months, his popularity will be lost, and it is normal for him to die everywhere......"

"That can't be helped, Pandora's box has been opened. Who has already tasted the sweetness of our company, this is like drinking to quench thirst, once the benefits that can be brought in the short term are high to a certain extent, who will care about the future? Long Jiao sighed, shook his head and said, "Although I also think this way of operation is unhealthy, but after all, I haven't been long since I jumped from Mingzhou, and there are too many people in the company who think like this, and I can't fight against their collective will alone!"

"On the contrary, I don't think this is an opportunity for you, Director Long!" Liu Kewei shook his head, not agreeing with Long Jiao's idea.

"Oh, I want to hear about it. Long Jiao also became a little interested.

"I'm not against the general direction of the item charging model, but with a little bit of limits, you can keep the game environment at a relatively fair level and reduce some of the pressure from others in your company. However, time will tell, even if the short-term income of our project will be less than other games in your company, but as long as we can ensure a more fair game environment, we can attract a large number of players who are disappointed in other game environments and lost.

Liu Kewei's eyes emitted a burst of brilliance, and Duan Shanshan, who was sitting on the side, felt that the guy who was drunk and instigated himself and Che Guanglong to move out of the company dormitory together and rent an apartment by himself seemed to appear in front of him again.
